At long last we have received the Naer Mataron track for their split EP with Voice of Hate.

Production is therefore ready to start on the NAER MATARON/VOICE OF HATE split EP, limited to 666 copies (TOD003).

15 March 2006

News from the Beastcraft and Orcrist camps in Norway and Italy is that the bands are in the final stages of preparation before entering their respective studios to record two tracks each for their Split 7” EP.

7 March 2006

Temple of Darkness have closed a deal with two great underground Black Metal bands - Beastcraft (Norway) and Orcrist (Italy) to release a split 7” EP. Both bands are well known for their uncompromising attitudes when it comes to the true Black Metal sound, and are currently working on producing two tracks each for what is likely to emerge as a raw and brutal work. Beastcraft have a working title of “Celebration of Christ's Death” which gives some indication of how uncompromising they intend to be, whilst Orcrist are back to their original, and strongest, line-up, and are writing two new tracks which are already sounding ice cold and dark as the pits of Hell.

CADAVER needs no introduction. The Norwegian band has been playing pure Death metal since 1988. Previous works such as “Hallucinating Anxiety”(1990), “In Pains” (1992) or “Necrosis” (2004) firmly confirmed Cadaver to be one of the most important bands to come out of Norway.

VOICE OF HATE (Spa) both tracks are probably their most aggressive sound to date, in the vein of SLAYER (“South of Heaven” and “Seasons in the Abyss” era.)

NAER MATARON (Gr) Was formed in 1994. This band plays quality Black Metal, with the true Hellenic touch. Their contribution to this unholy union is a pure BlackMetal hymn, with excellent riffs and acoustic parts givingit a melodic and epic touch. The strength of experience possessed by the members of Spain's VOICE OF HATE enables this band to experiment successfully with styles far removed from Death Metal. Here, their extraordinary cover version of VELVET UNDERGROUND'S “Venus in Furs” gives ample proof of how successful this experimentation can be

Description: The roots of this unholy creation can be traced way back to 1988, when, as FLEGTHON, the band were first inspired by the myths and legends of their native Greece. “The Raping of the Divine” was composed between 1996 and 2005, and is imbued with the atmosphere of ancient Greece. The music is in the vein of :ROTTING CHRIST, VARATHRON NECROMANTIA or THOU ART LORD.
